Truckers who have to be on the road on Christmas day will be able to call family and friends free of charge, thanks to PNV and Paccar.

Truck drivers with a PNV membership can pull into one of more than 250 truckstops equipped with Park 'N View on Christmas day and get free local and long distance phone service.The promotion is sponsored by PNV and Paccar, parent company of Kenworth and Peterbilt."While most people will be home with their family this holiday season, thousands of men and women will be out on the road, ensuring the timely delivery of holiday and post-holiday goods that travel the nation's highways," said PNV CEO Bob May. "We understand that life on the road can be especially lonely this time of year, and we hope to help by bringing the holidays to the cabs of America's truck drivers."For more information, visit www.pnv.com.
